Description

The U.S. Government has rights in this invention pursuant to Grant Nos. GM33369 and GM26908, Winship Cancer Center Grant from the National Institute of Health.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method of preparing sphingosine derivatives, including, but not limited to, the four enantiomers of sphingosine.
Sphingolipids (i.e., ceramides, sphingomyclin and gangliosides) constitute a broad class of biologically important compounds. These materials are known to act as biological response modifiers, and have potential uses in the treatment of diseases in which the progression of the disease, or in which the therapy for the disease, involves growth factors, hormones, or a variety of drugs based on the mechanism of action of such compounds. For example, it is known that sphingosine is a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C in vivo and in vitro.
There exists a need, therefore, for a method of efficiently preparing sphingosine derivatives.
There also exists a need for a synthetic route to each of the sphingosine enantiomers which not only permits the stereoselective production and biological assay of these materials, but which also provides the flexibility to do extensive structure and function modifications.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method of preparing sphingosine derivatives. It also relates to the stereoselective synthesis of enantiomerically pure dihydroxyalkene primary amines and related compounds, including each of the four enantiomers of sphingosine from either L- or D- serine. Included in the method is the diastereoselective addition of acetylide anions to the following aldehyde to form propargyl alcohol with high erythro selectivity: ##STR1##
The erythro-isomer of propargyl alcohol is inverted by S N 2 inversion to form a threo-isomer. Either isomer can then be deprotected to form an alkyne with a 2-aminopropane 1,3-diol head group; this alkyne can be reduced to form sphingosine or a sphingosine derivative which can be functionalized at the 4 and 5 positions to form a substituted derivative of sphingosine. The aldehyde itself is prepared by reducing serine methyl ester by a hydride reagent, and particularly an aluminum hydride reagent such as is used in DIBAL reduction.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
FIG. 1 illustrates the synthesis of sphingosine derivatives according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 illustrates a β-chelation controlled model according to the present invention; and
FIG. 3 illustrates a potential compound capable of being prepared according to the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The backbone component of sphingolipids is the long chain base sphingosine, which is typically present as its D(+)-erythro isomer (2S, 3R), that is: ##STR2##
The process of the present invention is set forth in FIG. 1. Starting from either N-BOC-D- or L-serine (BOC=t-butyloxycarbonyl), one can produce a protected serine methyl ester 3 in approximately 62% overall yield by a series of standard synthetic manipulations, such as those set forth in FIG. 1. DIBAL reduction of the serine methyl ester 3 in toluene at -78° C. provides an approximately 85% yield of an aldehyde 4. The reduction may be carried out by using a hydride reagent which stops the reaction at the aldehyde oxidation state. For example, aluminum hydride reagents, including lithium aluminum hydride, have been found effective. The resulting aldehyde has a 2- aminopropane 1, 3 diol head group. This aldehyde 4 has been found to be an extremely useful intermediate for the preparation of sphingosine derivatives, and particularly each of the enantiomers of sphingosine.
It has been found that the addition of acetylide anions, and particularly alkali acetylides such as the lithium salt of pentadecyne in THF (-78° C. to 0° C.), to the aldehyde 4 produces propargyl alcohol 5 as an approximately 9:1 mixture of erythro- and threo-isomers, respectively, in approximately 90% isolated yield. The erythro- and threo-isomers may be readily separated by chromatography on silica gel (i.e. hexane/ethyl acetate, 2:1). Conversion of the propargyl alcohol 5 to dehydrosphingosine 8 may be achieved using any standard deprotection sequence, such as shown in FIG. 1.
To obtain erythro sphingosine 9 on a small scale (i.e. approximately 10-100 mg), dehydrosphingosine 8 was exposed to a refluxing solution of excess lithium in liquid ammonia/THF (1, 2, 3, 4-Tetrahydro-9-fluorenone) (4:1) for approximately 7 hours. This resulted in a quantitative recovery of a 9:1 mixture of the erythro sphingosine 9 and dehydrosphingosine 8, respectively. Pure erythro sphingosine 9 is obtained by recrystallization of the mixture from hexane.
To overcome problems associated with maintaining relatively constant amounts of ammonia during large scale dissolving metal reductions, the lithium aluminum hydride reduction is altered by switching solvents from refluxing THF (BP=67° C.) to refluxing DME (dimethoxyethane, BP=85° C.) for 12 hours. This results in consistent yields of 70% on scales up to 5 grams.
The erythro-selectivity in the conversion of the aldehyde 4 to propargyl alcohol 5 is shown in the β-chelation-controlled model set forth in FIG. 2. This β-chelation may be used as a means of inverting the stereochemistry of the C-3 alcohol to obtain the corresponding threo-isomer by converting propargyl alcohol to its corresponding ketone 10, shown in FIG. 3, by Swern oxidation to provide an 80% yield, followed by subsequent reduction. Erythro alcohol 5 has been found to be cleanly isomerized to its corresponding threo-isomer 6 in 70% yield by Mitsunobu inversion of the C-3 alcohol. The threo-isomer 6 can then be converted to threo-sphingosine in yields which are consistently within 2% of those obtained in the erythro series.
